Embodiment
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent more, the present invention is further detailed explanation below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
Schematic block circuit diagram of the present invention comprises high-frequency signal transmitter 11, transmission line circuit of equivalent network 12, two detecting circuits 13, differential amplifier circuit 14, two annulus probe 15 as shown in fig. 1.Wherein high-frequency signal transmitter 11 sends the high frequency sinusoidal electromagnetic wave signal of 100MHZ, this signal transfers to two annulus probes 15 through transmission line circuit of equivalent network 12, described pair of annulus probe 15 is made up of two coaxial stainless steel annulus, two annulus are enclosed within on the cylinder axis of PVC material, described stainless steel circle diameter is 42mm, and length is 220mm; Described sound-pipe material is homemade PVC engineering plastics, and internal diameter is 42mm, and external diameter is 44.3mm, pipe range 1m, 2m or 3m.Two stainless circle ring center places are connected with the signal transmssion line of transmission line circuit of equivalent network 12, high frequency sinusoidal electromagnetic wave signal is transmitted into the external world by the anodal annulus of the two annulus probes in center, electromagnetic wave sees through sound-pipe tube wall soil to be measured around and propagates, and received by the annular circular ring negative pole, because the impedance and the probe impedance of transmission line circuit of equivalent network do not match, the part electromagnetic wave reflects back into transmission-line equivalent circuit in probe and transmission-line equivalent circuit junction along signal transmssion line, the stack of incident wave and reflection wave forms standing wave on transmission-line equivalent circuit, incident wave when forming standing wave and reflection wave are converted into d. c. voltage signal through detecting circuit 13 with high frequency electromagnetic wave signal respectively, input to signal amplification circuit, after the zeroing and amplification of signal amplification circuit, produce the differential DC voltages output signal of 0-2.5V, detect the voltage output signal, utilize the volumetric water content of soil in the loam and the relation (being calibration equation) of sensor output voltage to set up the cubic polynomial between volumetric water content of soil and the sensor output voltage, be θ V=0.0438V 3-0.1334V 2+ 0.278V-0.0306 the present invention comes measured soil moisture by measuring standing wave ratio on the transmission line circuit of equivalent network just.
Referring to Fig. 1, incident wave during standing wave and reflection wave produce direct current signal through the detecting circuit 13 (detecting circuit adopts external state-of-the-art detuner integrated circuit (IC) chip) that is connected transmission line circuit of equivalent network 12 two ends respectively, input to signal amplification circuit 14, after the zeroing and amplification through described signal amplification circuit 14, produce the differential DC voltages signal output of 0-2.5V, the present invention utilizes the difference direct current signal of output through the demarcation of tubular soil moisture measuring sensor in soil, set up the cubic polynomial relation between soil volumetric(al) moisture content and the sensor output voltage, be θ V=0.0438V 3-0.1334V 2+ 0.278V-0.0306.
Fig. 2 is the transmission line circuit of equivalent network.An available inductance capacitance network equivalent on the transmission line circuit of equivalent network principle.L, C are the equivalent transmission line parameter, C 1Be the input capacitance of transmission line, C 2Be transmission line load.The selection of component values is on working frequency points, LC series resonance, LC 1Parallel resonance.Can determine the L value according to this principle, the value of C is determined by test according to the external structure of type of sensor and two annulus probes.
Transmission line circuit of equivalent network 12 can equivalence be one section uniform coaxial transmission line.Any one section uniform coaxial transmission line is divided into many differential section dz, for uniform transmission line, because its distribution parameter is equally distributed along the line, and because the length of line element dz is extremely short, so can will regard a lumped circuit as, and next equivalent with a Г type network, its equivalent electrical circuit is as shown in Figure 3
When the length of described equivalent coaxial transmission line equals four of wavelength X/for the moment, the crest of standing wave and trough are just at the two ends of equivalent coaxial transmission line, equivalence coaxial transmission line length determines that by test must assurance produce standing wave thereon, the potential difference (PD) at two ends is:
U ^ 1 - U ^ 0 = 2 Aρ = 2 A Z L - Z C Z L + Z C
In the following formula, Z CBe the characteristic impedance of transmission line, Z LThe characteristic impedance of tubular soil moisture measuring sensor probe, the numerical value of A depends on the amplitude of high frequency oscillator, is steady state value.So the potential difference (PD) at transmission two ends is proportional to reflection coefficient ρ under the constant situation of A, and the available standing wave ratio of ρ is expressed as in transmission line theory:
Γ = 1 - ρ 1 + ρ
So the soil moisture measurement method that the present invention will realize just can realize based on the measuring method of standing wave ratio principle.
The probe of tubular soil moisture measuring sensor belongs to the regular transmission line, and the present invention studies show that the characteristic impedance Z of tubular soil moisture measuring sensor probe LAs shown in the formula:
Z L = K · 60 ϵ ln R r
Because the sonde configuration of sensor is coaxial circle ring, satisfy inequality by its characteristic of geometric configuration analysis: ZS>ZL>ZC;
Z CBe the characteristic impedance of concentric cable, Z C = 60 ϵ ln R r
Z SBe the characteristic impedance of biaxial cable, Z S = 120 ϵ ln R r
Wherein R is the outer conductor radius, and r is the inner wire radius, and ε is the specific inductive capacity of megohmite insulant in the cable.
Force relation principle according to folder, the span that can determine K is 2>K>1.
If the specific inductive capacity in the concentric cable is ε γ 0, the specific inductive capacity of medium is ε in the probe, promptly obtains:
Δ U ^ = U ^ 1 - U ^ 0 = 2 A ϵ r 0 - K ϵ ϵ r 0 + K ϵ
Because of selected probe is a stainless steel material, ε γ 0=1, then:
Δ U ^ = 2 A 1 - K ϵ 1 + K ϵ
Wherein ε is the relative dielectric constant of soil, water and air potpourri.
Therefore pass through the voltage difference at sense transmission line circuit of equivalent network two ends
Figure B200910132677XD0000067
Can measure the DIELECTRIC CONSTANT of soil, determine volumetric water content of soil according to the funtcional relationship of volumetric water content of soil and soil dielectric constant more at last.
